Hard to deny the took out all the stops to get to 5000. Doesn’t mean it’s not sustainable, but process improvements are needed. Karpathy and every other exec will quit if they are working full time on GA4.
I wouldn’t deny the *concentrated* effort of it all. It’s not the first time they’ve done it, probably won’t be the last. I remind all that past all out concerted efforts resulted in Tesla going on to continue to ramp quickly and successfully.
In fact, let me point out the obvious of this effort and previous ones; the efforts were done to solve the last of the issues that had been holding them back. Getting everyone on the same page and focusing all attention, problem solving and creativity to get over the hurdle is just smart.
Anyone who can’t put their big boy/girl panties on to help the company be successful should find another place to work, including the likes of Karpathy. If the factory floor is good enough for Elon Musk, it should be good enough for everyone else. Ivory towers are for Princesses, not those who are trying to change the world.
